The second the video is about to load (other user answers) Firefox crashes out. However on restart Firefox is not aware of the failure.

Drivers are up to date on video, and safemode for Firefox does not solve the issue.

There is an old report from October 2016, but none from yesterday or today. The browser is completely crashing and the report is not getting generated. When I restart firefox it is not even aware it has crashed.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I had tried that before posting. I went through all the basic troubleshooting items I could think. I am not sure why the crashes are not being captured. Is there an advanced debugger?

Start your Computer in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
